The schedule for Broadway at The Paramount 2019/2020 Season is out, and I so excited you guys!
WE IN FOR SOME GREAT SHOWS!!! I am including press release on the upcoming shows below. I PROMISE YOU ARE GOING TO BE THRILLED, but I want to tell you a story first.
I just returned from a trip to NYC (choir trip chaperone in the house!). On the trip I joined a small group of students to see a play I hadn’t heard of. I almost didn’t go because it meant I wouldn’t be able to go on the Staten Island ferry. I really wanted to do that. Besides, I didn’t know anything about the play, aaaand it wasn’t a musical…
BUT.
I did go. And am I glad! This show is now one of my all-time favorite shows and YOU GUYS IT IS COMING TO THE PARAMOUNT.
“What show is it?”, you ask?
The Play That Goes Wrong
I laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laaaaaauuuughed. I CANNOT WAIT to take my family to see it!
So there’s a little recommendation for a show you may not be familiar with that you are going to want to put on your “Absolutely Must See” list”. However, as you take a peek below, you WILL see the names of shows that I KNOW you are familiar with and I am certain will evoke a squeals of delight!
